65 Barracuda Gasser + 1956 325 Dodge Hemi Build

Work continues on the assembly of the lil' hemi. We checked and recorded all the rod bearing clearances, so basically the bottom end is all done now. Got the front end of the engine all figured out with the new (modern) balance damper and timing chain....everything fits! Timing marks are off, but that is an easy fix with a new pointer to be mounted on the timing cover. Cam is in ( a solid lifter re-grind by Chris Nielson, in Utah). So on to all the little things to make the short block complete. A couple of pics follow..........thanks to all for your prayers too, Chip
